remained invalid for one renewal period and shall require a new application, accompanied
by the application fee for reregistration or recertification.

certificate of registration or certification on inactive status. The registrant shall
submit the request in writing to the board.

F. If the board has invalidated, pursuant to subsection B of this section, the

registration on inactive status, the registrant shall submit all penalty fees that are
due with the registrant's application for inactive status.

G. A registrant shall not place the registrant's certificate of registration on
inactive status if the person's certificate of registration has been canceled by the
board pursuant to subsection C of this section.

H. A registrant who holds an inactive certificate of registration may apply to the
board to reactivate the certificate of registration. The board shall reactivate an
inactive certificate of registration if the registrant submits a completed application on
a form prescribed by the board and meets the qualifications for professional registration
set forth in section 32-122.01. A registrant who seeks reactivation of the registrant's
certificate of registration and who has not been engaged in the profession in which the

application for reactivation shall take the applicable professional examination.

I. The board shall establish the renewal fee for each certificate or registration
issued pursuant to this chapter.
